YOU'RE WELCOME

They said it couldn't be done They said it like they knew Now they're standing at my door Acting like they always knew I asked for help, they gave me silence I asked for faith, they gave me doubt Every hand that pushed me under Taught this body how to swim out The coldest words came from the closest That's the part that cuts the deep But what they buried was a seed And what they woke up couldn't sleep And I don't hate you anymore That's the part you'll never get I rose so far above the noise I forgot how to regret Now you want to know me, you're welcome Now you say my name, you're welcome For every door you closed on me You built the one I came to be So from up here with love, you're welcome You're welcome They let me feel like I was nothing So being something feels like flight They never clapped when I was falling Now they applaud under my lights And I could throw it in their faces I could make them feel it all But peace is louder than revenge When you're standing this tall And I don't hate you anymore That's the part you'll never get I rose so far above the noise I forgot how to regret Now you want to know me, you're welcome Now you say my name, you're welcome For every door you closed on me You built the one I came to be So from up here with love, you're welcome You're welcome
